This is the widen shuffle elements enhancement to D76727.
It builds on the analysis and simplifications in
D77881 and rG6a7e958a423e.
The phase ordering tests show that we can simplify inverse
shuffles across a binop in both directions (widen/narrow or
narrow/widen) now.
There's another potential transform visible in some of the
remaining TODOs - move a bitcasted operand of a shuffle
after the shuffle.

We got some of the potential optimizations with D76727 and D76844.
There are 2 likely enhancements that we could add to -vector-combine
to get most of the remaining cases:
1. Allow bitcasted shuffle mask narrowing (widen the elements).
2. Combine shuffle-of-shuffle into a single shuffle.
This is already partly handled by the x86 backend, but the
tests here show that we still miss some of the potential
combines.
